    What was your first story you wrote?

    I also remember writing a crime series (short stories) in 7th grade middle school. I actually managed to hold onto the original manuscripts to those. Ever go back in time to old abandoned work and cringe to death? It's feels like that.

    What the hell?

    So pretty much it isn't avoidable, and perhaps RR because of luck or randomness.

    Turning stories upside-down by changing the perspective

    In a sense, my current project of Overlap is doing just that, is about to anyway once the other book begins later in the week. Overall its not a bad idea; some whole new books can come of having a spin-off from a different POV of characters.

    What was your first story you wrote?

    Wow the topic takes me back. First story I've ever written would have been back in 5th grade. We had a long writing assignment to create a "narrative" story. It was near Christmas time, so we were also given a theme about Gingerbread men or Gingerbread house. We weren't given any script to...

    One-time Revision Swap [CLOSED]

    Hello. I am not too familiar with a critique group, but I should point out that having the chapter reach too many eyes too soon would defeat the purpose of me trying to do it directly. Also, I have decided long ago that I won't be using Google Docs for any of these chapters. I use word and can...

    What the hell?

    So I assume some technology or A.I. equivalent can just vast scan published works. I wonder though why there is any particular reason why Royal Road is the main target? Is is merely just random? Does Royal Road lack a certain protection other sites might have? I'm mostly curious at this point.

    What the hell?

    Yikes. I have things on RR myself. Aggregators are huge scams anyway. Is there anything I can do to report them or something, even if I wasn't targeted? I tend to take sites that do that personally.

    One-time Revision Swap [CLOSED]

    I've completed another chapter of a WIP, and this time I would like some serious feedback on it. It's a very tough chapter to make, and I feel like it will certainly have more than one issue or another. I am willing to swap a revision request of my 1 chapter for 1 chapter of someone else (2 if...

    What the hell?

    What website? I don't see any links to what we're talking about.

    Which is the scene you are most proud of having written?

    Pretty much every fight scene plus a few more from the recent works on the Leray Series.

    What kind of music do you listen to while writing?

    This will be random in context but I've recently been able to fully ID two songs I've been wanting to attribute: > Electus ~ Archangel > Approaching Farewell ~ Eternall, Blure

    That feeling when you accidentaly delete a 4k word chapter and realize you didnt save it elsewhere

    I did that once, only instead of just a single chapter, it was the whole dang book! Strangely, despite not making proper backups back then, it was the autosave feature that worked against me in that tale. TLDR: User accidentally deletes whole book, goes to cry about it for a while. Then learns...

    How difficult is it to suddenly become a V-Tuber?

    ? Not even a little. Yeah, that's what I figured. If I had lots of seed $, I'd probably consider it, promotion or not. Seems like the trendy thing to do these days. I've always thought about being a video content creator, for discussion if nothing else, but for whatever reason, I'm shy to the...

    How difficult is it to suddenly become a V-Tuber?

    Real question here ~ I'm curious about the entry difficulty in how it can be done. Like, what kinds of equipment and internet speeds required to even consider it? ~ How much would that equipment theoretically cost? Which streaming/upload/video platforms would be best to use? What kind of...

    Music playlist

    I'll be back... One of these days, with an epically long list.

    How to explain a magic power system?

    It's best in a story to explain it in bits and pieces over time, which is difficult when knowing how much is too much and how much is too little. You don't want to leave too many critical questions, but also don't want to info dump. Sometimes it can be explained during spell usage or fight...

    Rejected from Royal Road for a "sexual cover," now posting on Scribble Hub

    I mean, yeah, that's the same kind of thought I would have. Instead of being mad at them and rage quitting RR, I'd first try to see if I could get around their BS and use them before they use me, considering how hypocritical they want to be. It would not be difficult to try it I don't think...

    Rejected from Royal Road for a "sexual cover," now posting on Scribble Hub

    Woooow! What else is there to say? The messages and logs speak for themself. I've seen far more exposure-content covers posted in places even on public FB groups with no issue. I don't blame you for moving over to Scribblehub. Although, if it is still worth it to you, one thing you could try...

    What Do You Think Makes A Bad Author?

    In short, poor writing performance, too much passive voice, bad grammar, the whole combo that makes a bad piece of work exist, is one element, especially when the author of which makes it clear they don't care to improve it. I don't count it as much if it was done for satire. Worst of the worst...

    What kind of music do you listen to while writing?

    Too many to list them all, but this one has been in my heart on loop for a while now: Shiva Shankara ~ [Up From The Dust} (feat. Irina Mikhailova) {Desert Dwellers} Maybe I love it so much because I've associated this song with something beautiful and heartwarming, that of real family, those...
